How to properly water indoor plants
There are several mandatory items that play an important role in the vitality of the flower.
- Before picking up a watering can with water, it is necessary to determine the moisture content of the soil. This can be done with your fingers and using the moisture indicator. If it is necessary to moisten the soil, water the flowers with pre-prepared water. That is, it is best to use rainwater for irrigation. If this is not possible, if tap water is used for irrigation, then you need to:
- Collect water a few hours, or better a day before the start of the procedure, in order to let it settle and provide an opportunity for chlorine to erode, which is used to disinfect water in water wells before supplying it for consumption;
- During the procedure, care must be taken that water droplets fall as little as possible on the surface of the foliage. Especially if the plant is in direct sunlight. The droplets that fall on the leaf turn into a magnifying glass. The sun's rays hitting the flower through the remaining drops can cause burns;
- It is better to water the plants in the evening, after sunset.
- Flowers need calcium, so you can use water infusion on eggshells as watering. To do this, it is necessary to crush the pre-dried eggshell into powder, which must be placed in water and shaken for a few minutes before watering. There is another way to enrich myself with calcium - to water the plant with cooled water in which the eggs were boiled.

What plants are called house plants
Houseplants include all indoor flowers, as well as mini-trees, which also belong to the varieties of flowers.
The need for flowers in water depends on the specific characteristics of the flower, on the species and family to which it belongs. So, for example, flowers with lush foliage require watering more often than those with a powerful root system.
Autowatering
The hotter the room, the higher the temperature, the more evaporation and the greater the need for water. Lack of moisture leads to death in the same way as its excess. Therefore, before watering homemade greens, you need to study the characteristics of the need for water.
After watering, the soil should be allowed to rest. Excessive waterlogging contributes to the development of diseases. Rot and mold are major hazards resulting from excessive moisture.
In addition, one should take into account the fact that a very wet earth is compacted, which means that its ability to transmit oxygen is lost, which is also the reason for the death of domestic plantings.
